Mr. Speaker, my colleague asks a timely and most appropriate question. Federal investment in public transit has reached $1 billion per year in this country, and that is thanks to the building Canada plan.
Addressing transit needs in Canadian communities requires cooperation among all levels of government. That is why in budget 2008 we set aside $500 million in support of capital investments to improve public transit over the next two years. That trust supports, of course, rapid transit, transit buses and high occupancy vehicles. We are getting the job done for Canadians.
